I got that. What I didn't get was how he apparently got from color customization to "Scrappers need more epic pools."
Look, I'm with you on Scrappers wanting more choices for epics, despite the fact that Scrappers are one of the best-balanced ATs and generally have few complaints.
But thousands of players have been begging for color customization for years. Imagine the reverse of this complaint: "Color customization was possible this issue, but we've pushed it back indefinitely to add a Scrapper epic pool." People would go nuts, and rightly so.
Scrappers will probably get more epic choices eventually. In the meantime, it ill behooves us to use everyone else's moment of great joy to air a complaint about what's already one of the best-designed ATs.

I, for one, will be turning my Dark Armor to bright pink.
Probably only for a day, but for that one day? It will make me laugh like a lunatic.

I hate the pink aura around the head so I might actually play a DA Scrapper now. I'm really hoping we can select "None" as a choice for color.

Well....
1) Posi's post was about Issue 16. The big draw of Issue 16 is probably going to be color customization. So, it's fair to talk about what ELSE might be in there.
2) More epics for Scrapper would not likely hold anything up, especially just adding Pyre Mastery like they should have done this issue.

Whoa... I just asked a question about what people think the odds of this issue giving both. As I said earlier, I'm looking forward to this as well. No flames or doom cries over here. That's why its posted here, on the scrapper board, and not in that announcemnet post. I'm sure I'm not the only person that is wondering "what else" is going to be added just like everytime a new issue is announced. I don't see the problem with asking other scrapper players the odds of new scrapper app sets or powers be a "what else" for this issue. Someone mentioned making a pink ball of doom. What's wrong with wanting to be able to fire off a pink fireball from that pink ball of doom? I'm sorry if you feel I'm trying downplay the annoucement. That is not the case.
Regardless, I will still keep my hopes up for new app for scrappers, Energy melee, energy aura, and electric melee for scrappers, Sicrocco's sword as an option for BS users, a darkness control set for trollers and doms as a primary, and dark miasma as a troller's 2ndary. Everytime a new issue comes, I'm going to wonder if this is the issue we get one of those. I dont fuss and cuss when we dont. I just say maybe next time.
So no bashing or downplaying. Just hopes from a player. And when the next issue comes out, I will wonder "what else" again.

Point taken. I might be a little jumpy with the DOOM KLAXON going off so regularly. 
I too hope for more options for Scrapper APPs.

[/ QUOTE ]
I suspect it won't be, though. I'd expect a selection like our current color palette - so no clear/none. Even if available, that seems a bad idea. Last thing I need is a lack of visual cues that I've forgotten to turn my armors on!

Yeah, I doubt that none will be a color option. However, there is often some color that makes an effect very subtle.

I know with the vanguard weapons, if you use black/black, they become transparent seeing only the outline. Maybe that will work.

Dark melee/dark armour - cotton candy melee and pom-pom armor? Oh, yeah, ill go there. I hope SR can be altered a little, too.

So that's what's gonna be hot for i16? Black flame fire scrappers and cotton candy balls of doom? I wonder how many regen auras will be made red? I wonder if its gonna be a per power thing or do you have to keep the full set the same color. I've never been a fan of the multi color aura of unstoppable.

I don't have an issue with Dark Armor's color or the saturation of it's effects; it's the fact that Cloak of Darkness turns the character completely invisible that drives me crazy. That doesn't strike me as something that color customization will fix.
It will be nice for all those Energy melee types to be able to modify those pink pom poms.

Wonder what the impact of dark armor's COD would be with this - if you turned practically invisible, PVPrs might cry foul...
ya it'd be a shame if a stealth power made it, you know, harder to see

I doubt it. If they are supposed to be able to see you, your name will still be over your head allowing you to be targeted.

When weapon customization came out, scrappers were amongst those that benefitted the most. When power customization comes out, scrappers might not benefit so much. Dominators got literally nothing out of weapon customization, for example.
Scrappers have gotten a lot of attention lately, I think acting like they're somehow suffering is disingenuous.

Um, how? Don't get me wrong; I am happy with where scrappers are in the game, but what attention have they specifically received lately? I don't see anything specifically scrapper in recent issues.

About the 'worst' thing I can hear said about scrappers is they don't have a lot of variety in their epics, which isn't really in my mind a massively pressing concern.

I don't see anything above that is scrapper specific attention. The opinion that scrappers received more benefits from recent IO sets in particular I disagree with. I guess you meant scrappers had like every AT been affected by recent additions to the game.
